Employees Travel To Out-Of-Town Conferences

CLEVELAND -- The county elections board has spent at least $60,000 on out-of-town training for employees, including $15,000 to train a supervisor who plans to retire in three months. :wtf:

While the training has been approved by the Cuyahoga County elections board on an individual basis, the board only learned this week how much had been spent overall, The Plain Dealer reported Thursday.

Most of the expense was the cost of travel to conferences in locations including Anaheim, Calif.; Atlanta; Charlotte, N.C.; and Colorado Springs, Colo.


The report said it will cost the board tens of thousands of dollars more for the employees to maintain their three-year training certification or complete the certification.....
